As far as I can tell, Kees's comment

  It breaks the backward-compat for the "security=" line. If a system is
  booted with CONFIG_LSM="minors...,apparmor" and "security=selinux",
  neither apparmor nor selinux will be initialized. The logic on
  "security=..." depends on the other LSMs being present in the list.

was just a confusion, and I think that this version can become
the finalized version.
